One of my favorite movies is ‘Night of the Hunter’. It was critically crucified to the point where the director (Charles Laughton) never directed another movie.

One of my favorite movies is ‘Night of the Hunter’. It was critically crucified to the point where the director (Charles Laughton) never directed another movie. I am not being hyperbolic when I say that this was a loss to humanity and culture. Of course now, all critics are desperate to broadcast its brilliance.

The first editor of “Midnight Cowboy” resigned because he felt the naturalistic footage looked terrible and couldn’t be used for a proper movie. The film won Oscars for both Best Picture and Direction.
